NAME
doveadm-fts - Manipulate the Full Text Search (FTS) index
SYNOPSIS
doveadm [-Dv] fts command [OPTIONS] [ARGUMENTS]
DESCRIPTION
The doveadm fts COMMANDS can be used to manipulate the Full Text Search
(FTS) index.
OPTIONS
Global doveadm(1) options:
-D Enables verbosity and debug messages.
-o setting=value
Overrides the configuration setting from /etc/dovecot/dove-
cot.conf and from the userdb with the given value. In order to
override multiple settings, the -o option may be specified mul-
tiple times.
-v Enables verbosity, including progress counter.
This command uses by default the output formatter flow (without the
key= prefix).
Command specific options:
-A If the -A option is present, the command will be performed for
all users. Using this option in combination with system users
from userdb { driver = passwd } is not recommended, because it
contains also users with a lower UID than the one configured
with the first_valid_uid setting.
When the SQL userdb module is used make sure that the iter-
ate_query setting in /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext matches
your database layout. When using the LDAP userdb module, make
sure that the iterate_attrs and iterate_filter settings in
/etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext match your LDAP schema. Oth-
erwise doveadm(1) will be unable to iterate over all users.
-F file
Execute the command for all the users in the file. This is sim-
ilar to the -A option, but instead of getting the list of users
from the userdb, they are read from the given file. The file
contains one username per line.
-S socket_path
The option's argument is either an absolute path to a local UNIX
domain socket, or a hostname and port (hostname:port), in order
to connect a remote host via a TCP socket.
This allows an administrator to execute doveadm(1) mail commands
through the given socket.
-u user/mask
Run the command only for the given user. It's also possible to
use '*' and '?' wildcards (e.g. -u *@example.org).
When neither the -A option, nor the -F file option, nor the
-u user was specified, the command will be executed with the
environment of the currently logged in user.
ARGUMENTS
namespace
The name of a namespace, e.g. the name of the shared namespace.
When no namespace was given, the user's private namespace will
be used.
COMMANDS
fts optimize
doveadm fts optimize [-u user|-A|-F file] [-S socket_path] [namespace]
Optimize the full text search index. This is also done automatically
by the full text search engines, but this enforces it to happen.
fts rescan
doveadm fts rescan [-u user|-A|-F file] [-S socket_path] [namespace]
Scan what mails exist in the full text search index and compare those
to what actually exist in mailboxes. This removes mails from the index
that have already been expunged and makes sure that the next doveadm
index will index all the missing mails (if any). Note that currently
most FTS backends do not implement this properly, but instead they
delete all the FTS indexes. This may change in the future versions.
fts check fast
doveadm fts check fast [-u user|-A|-F file] [-S socket_path]
[--refresh] [--print-mismatches-only] [namespace]
This command exists only when the fts_dovecot plugin (Dovecot Pro FTS)
is loaded.
This command can be used to check FTS indexes for consistency. It per-
forms a fast check using only information in local caches (fts.S, meta-
cache).
--refresh
Refresh any necessary local caches for the command to run suc-
cessfully. This can be used if the command otherwise fails with
exit code 68.
--print-mismatches-only
Print only mailboxes that have inconsistencies.
Exit codes:
0 The mailbox is fully consistent
2 The mailbox is not fully consistent
68 There is not enough information in local metacache to know whether the
mailbox is fully consistent. Use either the --refresh parameter or the
"full" check.
fts check full
doveadm fts check full [-u user|-A|-F file] [-S socket_path] [--print-
details] [--print-mismatches-only] [namespace]
This command exists only when the fts_dovecot plugin (Dovecot Pro FTS)
is loaded.
This command can be used to check FTS indexes for consistency. It per-
forms a full check to give detailed output of inconsistencies.
--print-details
Print also IMAP UID numbers and FTS triplet names for each
email.
--print-mismatches-only
Print only mailboxes (or emails, with --print-details that have
inconsistencies.
Exit codes:
0 The mailbox is fully consistent
2 The mailbox is not fully consistent
